28 May Day March 2007- Kennett Square, PA
On May Day immigrants and their supporters marched through the streets
of Kennett Square a small town where thousands of immigrant workers labor
in sheds growing mushrooms. The march was organized by the Farm Worker
Support Committee (CATA) and many workers came from the only union shed,
Kaolin Farms. Marchers protested anti-immigrant bills in Congress and
local anti-immigrant initiatives. They called for amnesty -- permanent
residence visas which would give the undocumented immediate legal status
and rights -- and equality -- opposing second-class status as temporary
workers.
